Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Engineering Technology major in Electrical Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, 2026 Summary: Catfish farming in the Philippines has been increasing due to government support and the demand for sustainable food sources. However, manual pond management remains labor intensive and dependent on farmer’s experience. Existing solutions, such as manual water exchange and hand feeding, are time-consuming, subjective, and require constant supervision. The researchers addressed these opportunities by designing and developing a Pond Management System for Catfish Production in concrete ponds, equipped with sensors to monitor water parameters such as pH, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The system integrates both manual and automated modes, with features for feeding, water refilling, draining, and pH control, supported by a touchscreen monitor for real-time data display. The researchers utilized a prototyping approach and agile scrum methodology to attain the research objectives. Then, the researchers tested and analyzed the system in terms of functional accuracy through hypothesis testing techniques. Test results showed that the sensors accurately detected deviations in water quality and the automated responses successfully restored parameters to their optimum ranges. On the contrary, the researchers found that manual intervention was still necessary in cases of sensor failure or extreme conditions. The results proved that the system is capable of maintaining pond conditions within desirable ranges, reducing labor, and enhancing efficiency. This innovation benefits local catfish farmers and the aquaculture community in general by contributing to sustainable production practices.

Catfish farming in the Philippines has been increasing due to government support and the
demand for sustainable food sources. However, manual pond management remains labor
intensive and dependent on farmer’s experience. Existing solutions, such as manual water
exchange and hand feeding, are time-consuming, subjective, and require constant
supervision. The researchers addressed these opportunities by designing and developing a
Pond Management System for Catfish Production in concrete ponds, equipped with
sensors to monitor water parameters such as pH, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, and
temperature. The system integrates both manual and automated modes, with features for
feeding, water refilling, draining, and pH control, supported by a touchscreen monitor for
real-time data display. The researchers utilized a prototyping approach and agile scrum
methodology to attain the research objectives. Then, the researchers tested and analyzed
the system in terms of functional accuracy through hypothesis testing techniques. Test
results showed that the sensors accurately detected deviations in water quality and the
automated responses successfully restored parameters to their optimum ranges. On the
contrary, the researchers found that manual intervention was still necessary in cases of
sensor failure or extreme conditions. The results proved that the system is capable of
maintaining pond conditions within desirable ranges, reducing labor, and enhancing
efficiency. This innovation benefits local catfish farmers and the aquaculture community
in general by contributing to sustainable production practices.
